Research Topic

Optical and Acousto-Optic Technologies

This cluster of papers focuses on the acousto-optic interaction in crystalline materials, particularly the use of acousto-optic tunable filters for spectroscopy and imaging in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions. The papers cover topics such as elastic constants, photoelastic coefficients, spectral characterization, aberration analysis, and applications in chemical analysis and atmospheric composition measurements.
